Light a lamp for Covid-19 Heroes on Vesak Day

Vesak Full Moon Poya Day, which commemorates the Birth, Enlightenment and Passing Away of the Buddha, falls today. While it will not be possible to hold large-scale Vesak celebrations this year in view of the Coronavirus pandemic, the Government has urged the public to engage in religious observances in their homes. All TV and radio channels will broadcast live Bana sermons and other Buddhist programmes for the benefit of the public, who are also urged to light a lamp in honour of Health and Tri-Forces/Police personnel who are battling the Coronavirus.
